I'm not saying that registration will prevent people from getting guns. We have far too much metal out there for that. But if you nail criminals who don't have registered guns, it's a start toward driving down violence.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but the point of registration is to create a paper trail, no? Why would any criminal bother to go through the legal process to get a gun? I'm guessing the majority of the most violent criminals already do buy their guns from a car trunk.
I know that having to register isn't going to prevent me from getting a gun, but the restrictive gun control laws won't stop criminals from getting a gun.
That's the point I was trying to make with my question.
